With the election of a pro-choice president and the failure of anti-abortion measures in several states, the pro-life movement is down but not out. We hear about evolving tactics and a new focus on same-sex marriage. Also, big changes on Capitol Hill, and more names of Barack Obama's prospective cabinet members are being leaked. We talk about who they are, the likely source of the rumors and what they could mean for the next administration.

Since Roe v. Wade was decided 35 years ago, a woman's right to choose an abortion has been Issue Number One in the so-called "culture wars." But it's still the law. The next Supreme Court vacancies are likely to be filled by a President who's pro-choice. Ballot initiatives to limit abortion failed this month in South Dakota, Colorado and California. The pro-life movement won't go away, but it's changing its tactics. We hear about the search for common ground and the new issue of same-sex marriage.
